Jungle Jim's Pickle Wars 2026

Going Back in Brine!

Pickle vendors square off in The Oscar Event Center on January 31 in a struggle for the Championship Belt and the title of "Biggest Dill."

Pick your time slot and dive into a battle of the brine that's fiercer than ever! There are three times to choose from:

🥒11AM-1PM

🥒 1PM-3PM

🥒3PM-5PM

Enjoy games, pickle-themed food and drinks, and pickle cocktails. Taste through our prize-fighting panel of pickles and VOTE for your favorite to decide who is the crusader of crunch. The baron of brine. Pickle of Pickles.

We'll count the votes throughout the show and the vendor with the mightiest brine will win the coveted 2026 Pickle Wars Championship Belt and the title of “Biggest Dill.”

Show your DILL-igence and take on the formidable Gherkin Gauntlet! Compete in a marathon challenge of Bobbing for Brine, Brine Chugging, and Pickle Eating to claim victory. The Pickle Pro that places first will win a $100 Jungle Jim's Gift Card and 2026 Pickle Wars Championship Medal!

Each time slot will have its own Gherkin Gauntlet, meaning three Pickle Championships and three medals are ripe for the plucking! To put your cukes to the test, complete the sign up form and waiver either upon ticket purchase, in your confirmation email, or at www.junglejims.com/gauntlet.

To give everyone an equal chance to compete, names will be drawn at random and invited to the Pickle arena!
